The U.S. military has conducted a successful test of its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense over Alaska after threats from North Korea that its intercontinental ballistic missiles are capable of reaching the state.

Kong Xuanyou, assistant minister at the Chinese foreign ministry, brought in Ambassador Kim Jang-soo on Saturday, right after President Moon Jae-in ordered the deployment of an additional four THAAD launchers in response to North Korea's latest missile provocation, the JoongAng Ilbo reported, citing multiple diplomatic sources.
